Thappraya Night Market
This is a market for people who live in Pattaya, not one dressed up for people passing through. The food is the reason to come: rice with two dishes for around 50 baht, skewers from 10 baht, and enough Thai stalls to keep you eating for a week. Regulars single out the pad thai and the fried rice with chicken. There's sushi, kebabs and European plates too, plus a 24-hour bar, a pool table, massage, a hairdresser and a visa office. Beyond food, stalls sell clothes, electronics, perfume and even pets.
Go in with your eyes open. It isn't clean throughout, though the bathrooms are reported as fine, and there are repeated complaints about aggressive, rude behaviour from certain people working there, including one account of a fight breaking out. That's worth weighing up. If you want cheap everyday food in an ordinary Thai setting rather than a polished night bazaar, it does the job.

The place is for locals. Mostly Thai food. Prices are Thai prices which mean is very cheap. 50 baht for rice and 2 dishes. Skewers as low as 10 baht. The place is not clean but the bathroom is ok. Parking for motobike on the back. Parking for cars on the 2nd floor. Besides cooked foods, they sell pets, clothes, electronics, perfume, everything. Great place for anyone who want to live cheaply.
Bad talking with costumer. If you don’t want to sell Just close and go back you home ! Very Bad woman. Clearly not comeback.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
